This reminds me of Sim Copter from when I was a kid

I am an experienced lead developer specializing in custom WordPress development. I design and develop high-performance websites that are accessible and easy to use.

I've spent the last 3 years leading the marketing website for CoderPad.io leading the redesign and building out the marketing website. It included over 70+ custom, reusable components and a living style guide to track their usage --> https://coderpad.io/styleguide/

On the side I run DummyImage.com which serves 150+ million requests, 30+ million unique visitors per month.

I'm a senior web developer specializing in custom WordPress development with experience working in startups, creative agencies, world-renowned non-profits, and large media companies. Love bringing componentized websites to life utilizing custom design systems with an intuitive user-friendly backend. I've spent the last 3 years leading the marketing website for CoderPad integrating WordPress with HubSpot/Salesforce, designing marketing emails, and building analytic funnels for business insight.

I run DummyImage.com which handles 1.5 million unique visitors and 5 million requests per day.

I like using clamp() so there is a minimum and maximum size. Here's a Sass function to abstract away all the math --> https://gist.github.com/kingkool68/d2da6d3461eb7d47ca5815f9d...

There are various browser extensions that do that. Chrome Dev Tools has a coverage tab to do something similar.

Jinx!

"When you link to a website, you can send it a Webmention to notify it. If it supports Webmentions, then that website may display your post as a comment, like, or other response, and presto, you’re having a conversation from one site to another!"

I remember a startup nearly 10 years ago that did something similar http://www.fastcustomer.com/

Pretty cool that this feature is not built in to the operating system.

Finally ditching YSlow after all these years.

I'm most excited about str_contains(), str_starts_with(), and str_ends_with(). Call me simple but I'm so glad I don't need to come up with weird work arounds for those functions.

Wait so there was the old P2 and now there is the new P2 but at one point there was O2 which was supposed to be the next version of P2 https://geto2.com/ ?

I've been using them for several years. Saved our local news startup a boatload compared to CloudFront. What we pay in a year for BunnyCDN would equal one month on CloudFront.

I like being able to modify the properties and see the resulting classes.

I really took to heart this article about building a thoughtful, useable infinite scroll that doesn't break the back button. https://tumbledry.org/2011/05/12/screw_hashbangs_building

I think photo blogs are a good place to use infinite scroll.

I wish Amazon had a random button. Several years ago my friend wanted to randomly browse Amazon for things and I thought it would be easy to randomly generate URLs for products but I kept getting 404s. Figured I would need to use the API to scoop up product IDs and randomly go through those to randomly browse Amazon.

I run https://dummyimage.com, the first placeholder image service which has been online since 2007. I use a 1GB, 1vCPU instance from DreamCompute costing $6.00 per month. That's it.

To be fair dummyimage.com doesn't do any sort of image reading or resizing. Source doe at https://github.com/kingkool68/dummyimage

I have a similar workflow as well. Although I do like when Google makes those AI highlight movies.

Filament Group has Tablesaw which is another take on this idea. Javascript based but I think the results are a bit better https://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/tablesaw.html

LOL I've got the old ones covered https://github.com/kingkool68/stickyHeader

They've said this before https://twitter.com/DroidAlexandra/status/111934411027040665...

I really dig this approach. Pretty clever.
